Clipped this story of FOX news ticker teasing war protesters. ************************************************************Fox News Ticker Exposes Network's Bias.
Posted Friday, March 28, 2003 by stranger
...Fox News had its own response to the demonstrators. The news ticker rimming Fox's headquarters on Sixth Avenue wasn't carrying war updates as the protest began. Instead, it poked fun at the demonstrators, chiding them.
"War protester auditions here today ... thanks for coming!" read one message. "Who won your right to show up here today?" another questioned. "Protesters or soldiers?"
Said a third: "How do you keep a war protester in suspense? Ignore them."
Still another read: "Attention protesters: the Michael Moore Fan Club meets Thursday at a phone booth at Sixth Avenue and 50th Street" - a reference to the film maker who denounced the war while accepting an Oscar on Sunday night for his documentary "Bowling for Columbine."
The protesters said Fox's sentiments only proved their point: that media coverage, in particular among the television networks, is so biased as to be unbelievable.
"They're all bad, but Fox is the absolute worst," said Tracy Blevins, 32, a New York City resident. "The people who report the news aren't journalists. They just say what the government tells them to say."
Reached for comment Thursday afternoon, Fox spokeswoman Tracy Spector was unaware of the messages on the news ticker and said she would look into it. Spector said the network "didn't mean to insult anyone."
Spector did not return calls for further comment ..."

************************************************************Shrine to Catholic saint said to have healing powers
The Associated Press
3/24/03 10:13 AM
BUENA, N.J. (AP) -- A 6-foot-high statue set in the middle of acres of farmland is drawing hundreds of visitors to this quiet corner of Atlantic County.
Followers say the monument to Padre Pio, the Roman Catholic saint of healing, is responsible for curing cancer, depression, alcoholism and other ailments.
"There are such wonderful stories," Diane Stahl told The Press of Atlantic City. Stahl's family prayed at the shrine after her 18-year-old nephew, Tom, was diagnosed with leukemia. When he returned to the hospital in preparation for a bone-marrow transplant, Stahl said, his leukemia had disappeared.
"That's our miracle," she said. "It's been almost two years now and he is fit and we attribute it to Padre Pio's intervention."
The shrine sits on land owned by Maria Dandrea and her husband, Peter, at the corner of Route 40 and Central Avenue in Landisville, about two miles northeast of Buena.
Before the statue was built, Dandrea remembered, a handful of followers would gather on Wednesdays to recite the rosary at the site. Over time, more people began to attend.
"Curious people would stop by to see what we were doing," she said.
Attendees donated marble and wood for benches, lighting, trash cans, and statues of Jesus and Mary. Today, nearly 300 people visit the site each Wednesday.
Padre Pio was a Capuchin priest who lived at the San Giovanni Rotondo in southern Italy in the early 20th century. He is believed to be the first Roman Catholic priest to bear the stigmata, or the wounds on his hands, feet and side that simulated those suffered by Christ during the crucifixion.
One local resident who believes in the statue's healing power is Det. Sgt. Michael Santiago of the Millville Police Department. Santiago told the newspaper his recovery from an E. coli infection and near-fatal blood disease last year was aided by his prayers to Padre Pio.
"I really believe he pulled me through," Santiago said. "My kidneys were about to shut down and I was in bad shape. It's the prayers that helped me recover."

DON KING PLAZA. How much did DONALD TRUMP pay for TRUMP PLAZA???? AND-How much has TRUMP PLAZA done for AC??? ...DON KING only donated $10,000 and brought some boxing here, and ok-the DON KING name is exciting, but,I think that PLAZA vs. BOULAVARD is an insult to TRUMP.
ALSO,the busloads of supporters would have been fine if they hadn't taken up seats that LOCAL residents deserved or tried to have an influence on a LOCAL matter.
One more thing, I think that I heard yesterday, that DON KING has "streets all over AMERICA..." (named after him.) THAT takes some of the uniqueness from it.
Enough already!! -- Pamela, 18:13:01 03/24/03 Mon
I'm darn tired of hearing of this war 24/7 is anyone else on overload there's too much reporting and too many "Imbeds" it s a joke!It seems theres a blood lust since 9-11 and all anyone wants is someone to hang there justified anger on,I'm just tired of the 24/7 reports!

To look or not to look? -- talkonline, 08:13:53 03/24/03 Mon
If you can read this, you're online. And that means that with a couple of keystrokes, you can view scenes of AMERICAN POW Soldiers being killed and tortured.
I for one, won't be looking.
When the DANIEL PEARL video was online, I accidently watched part of it, and it was horrible. The video loaded up so fast,and started playing at the murder part so there was no time to even look away before the image was burned into my memory.
I'm not taking any chances with the latest "watch someone die" pictures. DRUDGE says that the images are even "worse" than the DANIEL PEARL scenes.
Yesterday, while I was watching coverage of the war, as the video became available to news organisations, anchors & reporters, ALL, reported viewing the gruesome scenes although they were not allowed to show it on television.
Two things bothered me about this, one, the "I know something you don't know" aspect. And two, why didn't ANY of the people who had the opportunity to view the tape, REFUSE TO WATCH?????
Plagerisim report -- talkonline, 19:35:20 03/22/03 Sat
Sorry to say that I have (once again) spotted LOCAL online plagerisim. An item titled "severe earthquake in France",was posted on a LOCAL website w/out mentioning the source or author or even "author unknown". I would say that this would be plagerisim because the way it is presented,implies that the person whose name is on the page is the author (they are not. The item is all over the www.),"author unknown" or some other indication that the item is NOT original would seem appropriate to me.A href="http://www.strangecosmos.com/read.adp?joke_id=4138">click here for another version of the "earhquake in france" article.
Hurley ,uninformed and silent on his Buddy as usual -- Tom V, 09:22:28 03/22/03 Sat
I saw on hurleys site a comment on Carton&Rossi's list for March Badness,Hurley takes issue with the seedings of Craig and Ray. Had he taken the time to research the list He would know the seedings were determined not by Craig & Ray, but by the calls and emails of listeners around the state,which means more people emailed and called about Mayor Langford than did for Senator Gormley.
Second Hurley was strangely silent as to the fact that the guy who ass he has been kissing for the last 5 years Gov. "Pinnochio" McGreedy was a number 1 seed .
So as is the Hurley norm in his Bizzaro world Wrong on the first view and absent on the second

One of my husband's colleagues called me yesterday to tell me that the NYT "Puzzlemaster", who does a crossword challenge radio show on NPR, mentioned me by name. The "clue" was the following (from the NPR site)
"This challenge comes from listener Phillip Goodman of Binghamton, New York. Name a famous person, 4 letters in the first name, 6 letters in the last, in which each of the vowels A-E-I-O-U appears once each. Who is this person? (Hint: A and E appear in the first name; I, O and U appear in the last name, although the vowels are not necessarily in alphabetical order.)"
Apparently the host mentioned a few of the guesses, including "mystery writer [my name]" which oddly enough meets all of the criteria. Of course the answer was.....
Bela Lugosi!

Talkonline, TC's remarks are way out of line -- Why is Harry Hurley Open Season?, 08:25:08 03/15/03 Sat
Talkonline, what an offensive, personal and totally unnecessary post by this TC character.
It's really ashame, but the gutless, nameless losers who only poost when you have "open season" really drag this board down the tubes.
Notice, the TC gang never posts when they have to send to you for a password.
I went to watch Holy Spirit's full dress rehearsal on Sunday, Crazy for You (a sort of 30's, Busby Berkleyish, Fred-and-Ginger musical). I have to say, if you miss this, you'll really miss something. The young man who plays the lead gave a Broadway quality performance, what they call a "triple threat" in NYC (sings, dances and acts) - I've had kids in four area high schools over the past dozen years and I've been to my share of activities, but I can't ever remember going to one that was this professionally produced. I never thought of Holy Spirit as a performing arts magnet, but they certainly seem to have a lock on stage talent in the area.

DON KING BLVD. -- talkonline, 15:07:46 03/12/03 Wed
Is anyone FOR DON KING BLVD.????? Speaking for myself, I like the idea. It has a nice ring (! pun alert) to it, and the more I hear the name bandied about (another pun?), I like it even better.
OK, so DUCKTOWN has an historical agenda and a long list of candidates that they would prefer, if a street were to be re-named. DUCKTOWN, actually has some major BOXING history, so, even putting KING ahead of other great LOCAL DUCKTOWN boxing names would be politically incorrect,(if LOCALS don't like it).
But,I for one,think that DON KING is a very exciting,lively,and FUN! character. PACIFIC AVENUE (again-only my opinion-I realize that this is a very touchy subject)-to me, is somewhat boring. But I know that "they" would probably never go for that. Maybe a new street? Somewhere around all of that TROPICANA construction????
Oh yeah, I know that the POLILLOS (sp?) would be mad if someone who dosen't actually live in AC says something, but after listening to a bunch of CRAP from them on-the-air lately about how (they/or which one?) "don't like the way that VENTNOR is being run"..., I really think that it would be a good idea to name the POLLILLO'S driveway DON KING BOULEVARD.
Perspective -- Greg, 12:51:11 03/12/03 Wed
It is all a matter of perspective. Harry, Don and Pinky were all sent letters and asked not to talk about the upcoming Local 54 election. Can you blame Local 54's attorney? In one of the most bogus decisions ever, a whole new election is taking place because of a radio talk show? It's ridiculous. Interesting to note, Harry and Pinky appear to be honoring the reasonable request - while washed up Don Williams refuses.
OH-THis!----is PRICELESS! -- talkonline, 07:03:16 03/12/03 Wed
Did everyone hear PINKY read a letter from LOCAL 54 attourney yesterday? The letter asked-(actually,it sounded like the letter DEMAMDED,) that WOND, NOT! talk about the up-coming union election. AND-they didn't even say PLEASE!
PINKY,decided to respect,the letter. (I respect PINKY for that,it's his deciscion).
DON WILLIAMS,on the other hand, REFUSES to go along!-(I LOVE! DON for that!)
(now we just have to change our voice and call DON with all of the dirty details!)

Don Williams - Queen Latifah and the Philadelphia Daily New! -- zuwahrah, 22:55:33 03/09/03 Sun
The reason that Don Williams started talking about the Philadelphia Daily News on Friday was as a result of seeing a picture of Queen Latifah on the cover of the Philadelphia Daily News that morning instead of who he thought should be on the cover of the Daily News that day, George W. Bush, because, he had had news conference the night before...I was listening to WOND at the time.
Did anybody see the Michael Savage Show? -- zuwahrah, 21:12:34 03/08/03 Sat
My TV is broken, so I was hoping that I might be able to see it at a bar.
The first bar that I went to was the bar that you see when you walk into Trump Plaza from the boardwalk. The TV was on but it was tuned to a sports channel and the sound was off, so, I didn't think that I would be able to see Michael Savage there.
The next bar that I went to was Planet Hollywood. The TV was tuned to a sports channel and the sound was off, so, I figured that I wouldn't be able to see the Michael Savage show there. I did get a Guinness there, though ($6.00).
Then I went to Lucky's bar in the Claridge. The sports channel was on and the sound was off so I didn't think that I would be able to see the Michael Savage Show there, either.
The next bar that I went to was Callahan's on Atlantic Ave. They had a TV on with the sound ON. I asked the bartender if there was any posibility that I might be able to see the Michael Savage show on MSNBC? The bartender said "Who's Michael Savage?" I said "Turn in MSNBC and you'll find out!". He didn't want to have any of it, so, I headed toward the Tropicana.
On the way to the Tropicana, I passed a hotel on Pacific Ave. whose name escapes me. There is a bar in there called "Foxy's Bar". So I went in there to see if I would be able to see the Micheal Savage Show there.
There was a TV there, but it wasn't on. {Foxy's Bar is the size of a large closet, by the way.) I asked the bartender if I would be able to watch the Micheal Savage Show there. He didn't say "Who's Micheal Savage?", but he said that there was something wrong with the remote control and a few other things.
I didn't to make a federal case out of it, especially since I was only going to order a 7 UP if the bartender ever did get the TV working. (I already had my beer for the year at Planet Hollywood).
My next stop was the "Top of the Trop". They had a TV on. It wasn't tuned to a sports show and the sound was on. I asked the bartender if he would ming if I changed the channel to MSNBC to watch the "Michael Savage Show". (The bartender's name was "Michael", at least that is what his name tag said).
He said "Sure!". Unfortunately, I don't know what channel MSNBC is on the cable since I don't have TV. So, the cocktail server tried to find MSNBC on the TV. She couldn't find it, but we did find a show about urinary track blockage. It was a little embarassing watching that with her. I think that she thought that that's what I wanted to see!.
After she couldn't find it, I tried. I couldn't find it either. I guess that MSNBC is not part of their cable plan.
So, I ended up sitting there, with a coke in my hand, watching the Weather Channel.
The point that I'm trying to make is that I wasn't able to see the premire of the Michael Savage Show. If you saw it, what did you think? Thank you!

The Wall Street Journal is read by the people
who run the country.
* The Washington Post is read by people
who think they run the country.
* The New York Times is read by people
who think they should run the country.
* USA Today is read by people
who think they ought to run the country but don't really
understand the Washington Post. They do, however,
like their statistics shown in pie charts.
* The Los Angeles Times is read by people
who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could
spare the time and if they didn't have to leave LA to do it.
* The Boston Globe is read by people
whose parents used to run the country and
they did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.
* The New York Daily News is read by people
who aren't too sure who's running the country and
don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
* The New York Post is read by people
who don't care who's running the country, as long as they
do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
* The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people
who aren't sure there is a country or that anyone is running it,
but whoever it is, they oppose all that they stand for. There are
occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority
feminist atheist dwarfs, who also happen to be illegal aliens
from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are Democrats.
* The Miami Herald is read by people
who are running another country but need the baseball scores.

Don Williams Remarks Today -- Bob, 10:50:47 03/07/03 Fri
I am furious with public remarks today made by Don Williams. He said he doesn't like the Daily News. Said he doesn't like the Daily News because people who read it are stupid. Williams then said that the Daily News markets to blacks. Williams then said didn't they use to have a black editor?
Is there even one person here who doesn't see what Wiliams was doing here. The NAACP must hold this person accountable. He has a history of racially offesive statements.
This Williams has even said in the past that his "White Sheet is in the cleaners for the next time he needs it."
This isn't funny anymore.
I am furious about this and I will be taking other proper measures to address this issue.
Saturday Clean-up Day Around Here -- Sue, 12:12:55 03/08/03 Sat
Dear Moderator, there is a lot of personal, nasty stuff around here. I thought there was not gonna be anymore of that?
it was................................really FUN! -- talkonline, 23:42:07 03/07/03 Fri
THANK-YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E-STREET BAND. YEAH-it was really good! (and yes he did play JERSEY GIRL) aND BORN IN THE USA. I met someone really nice who gave us a brief quiz and then sold us 2 tix under $200. ("face value" was $75 a piece so we didn't get scalped). BRUCE looked great,BRUCE'S MOM was there.
This is kind of funny...GREETINGS FROM ATLANTIC CITY! -- talkonline, 17:21:45 03/07/03 Fri
obviously I'm here still nursing a hangover from last night, but early reports from "the line" (I guess I'm out of the line since I did not make the 8:30 am check-in!)....very few extra tickets have actually gone on sale and liner-uppers have been "mixed-up" (hee-hee-hee),meaning that the "professional" line people are a little p-od! (people who just got there now were sent to the front of the line)
I posted a Positive Remark abour Harry Hurley -- To Talkonline - why did you remove it?, 11:06:14 03/07/03 Fri
I posted a favorable comment and a quite truthful one about Harry Hurley. I want to know why you removed it? Yet, you allow a bunch of haters to rant lies about him.

Springsteen continued... -- talkonline, 08:39:29 03/06/03 Thu
I don't know of ANY local people who were lucky enough to get tickets. A LOT of rumours floating around,including scuttlebutt, but, nothing substantial.
I don't even want to recap everything that I've heard here because I don't want to add to the confusion. I'll let you guys know if I hear anything for sure.(or you can email or call me)
As of right now-the tougest ticket that I've ever seen for Atlantic City. Some of the scalpers will get the big $$,some will not. I would be eating peanut-butter for a month if I got scalped on this. I would suspect that some casino hosts are being forced to cough-up the big bucks to scalpers just to get comps for some players.

A beautiful DAY! -- talkonline, 15:19:47 03/05/03 Wed
Went for a real long ride on the MONGOOSE. The wind blew me all the way into FRANTIC CITY! (I had to battle against the wind a little on the way back)
...stopped in at Boardwalk Hall to ask if they had any tickets for Friday's Show,and a very polite man informed me that the show was "sold-out". I do mean very polite,just for the fact that he didn't add DUH!.
Heard on FM radio that www.backstreets.com is a good site for info.???
Yep-I saw the old piece of the VENTNOR BOARDWALK that BARBARA ALTMAN mentioned today.
I'm listening to NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC #9 lately while I'm riding the bike. (switching from #6)
and,besides seeing friends and people that I haven't seen in a while, I had the ulimate experience, (better than a rainbow for me), the sight of a guy running near the shore-line, running, shadow-boxing, streching, and doing kicks-in-the-air.
(I didn't see a single swimmer or even beach-sitter,but I have a feeling that I will see them soon????
Missing since Monday -- talkonline, 08:22:17 03/05/03 Wed
Here's a link to The Sentinal,(click here),area youngster missing,photo and more info....I heard PINKY report this yesterday,but I haven't heard anything on TV-40,or ???....maybe the youngster returned home? I don't know.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION -- talkonline, 21:57:50 03/04/03 Tue
(I wasn't there, but this is what I heard...) RISLEY was there, everybody loved CONOVER'S speech,he said nice things about RISLEY,..........GORMLEY gave a "DYNAMITE" speech! (witnesses said that it may have been his best speech ever) the PATSA was very good......ok,here is the most SURPRIZING thing that was said about tonight's REPUBLICAN CONVENTION: (There was),"No fighting" !?????
It's about time! -- talkonline, 12:25:42 03/04/03 Tue
...found this YAHOO! news item at WWW.DRUDGEREPORT.COM,click here...(DRUDGE is awesome today btw!)............looks like PBS has not had an official (GAO-Government Accounting Office),AUDIT,since 1984!................the story says that several lawmakers have requested an audit with some specific reasons/questions........................(wonder if the SAVAGE, fued and complaints about BILL MOYERS had anything to do with this one????).....probably NOT- but it comes at a good time for inqueiring minds that have questions about PBS funding/spending/agenda/...!

WHITAKER'S WEBSITE -- talkonline, 07:47:11 03/04/03 Tue
Yeah-I checked back at JEFF'S website and it has been updated again! MORE new stuff,A preview of topic, pictures, and a site meter!
(JEFF had 19 visitors so far)
My only COMPLAINT! (again)-is there is NO LINK to MY news page! Yup-that was me calling JW last week, about my "Local News from around the globe news digest" page,which, although it does not get many visitors,I think is a pretty cool page. PLUS-if JEFF has a link to "The Sentinal" (local online news)........I really think that at least ONE of my pages deserves a LINK! (no not this one of course-too uh,uh,un-pre-dic-table!)
Amber Alerts -- talkonline, 09:51:39 03/04/03 Tue
I noticed that there are two active Amber Alerts (national). Click on the yellow line on my news ticker page for more info. (click here)....both active alerts are not local,but one of the kidnappers is reported to possibly be headed towards NYC. Both alerts look like the victims are in serious harm's way. (not "domestic"-family problems)-aka-"stranger-or real bad guy, abduction"???. When the local alert went off recently,people were advised to call 911 if they had any information to report. I would think that that would be a good idea in any Amber alert situation even if it is a national alert????
DON WILLIAMS wants to HUG HILLARY! -- talkonline, 08:12:42 03/04/03 Tue
WoW-DON mentioned a story in yesterday's NEW YORK POST, SENATOR CLINTON, in the story, makes strong statements of support for GW BUSH! in regards to the WAR! situation.
DON did a nice job of re-capping the story and adding some comments-then he said that he actually felt like "giving HILLARY a HUG!"
Me too!
Over the weekend-I was a little surprized to hear some callers refer to themselves as "pro-war". THAT is a really BAD way to put it! ....I'm sure that CLINTON measured her words very carefully before publicly speaking on the subject, war-mongers & peace-niks would be well advised to see what HILLARY has to say.
I don't know about you,but in this case, I have to say that SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON'S opinions make a difference to me considering her perspective (her experience as The First Lady),and of course with the pressure from her best friends (the far-left).....THANK-YOU DON WILLIAMS for pointing out this important story! (I'll try to copy or find a link!)
ELAINE ROSE spills the beans -- talkonline, 06:42:42 03/04/03 Tue
Ok,I thought that I had a "secret" way to get tickets to Friday Night's SPRINGSTEEN show. BUT!-I just checked out ELAINE ROSE'S column online Click here fro ER'S article & tips.............anyhow,somewhere in that piece,is my main plan for buying a ticket. (hint-w/o getting "scalped")
Seth's Show - did I miss something? -- rujane, 13:27:36 03/03/03 Mon
I was incommunicado for the first half of Seth's show, but I heard it from around 1:30 on. He was talking about his disillusionment with the local Republican organizations and said that he was going to try to get people together to form some sort of grass roots organization (the topic was taxes) and that he would be giving details at the end of his show. I didn't hear any information, wondering if I'd missed an announcement.
Where's MIKE? -- talkonline, 10:01:11 03/03/03 Mon
HEY-MIKE!-haven't heard from MIKE online lately????? I would email,but as everyone here knows, I am a little e-mail-tardo.
I really thought that Mike would chime-in on the 101.5 mb closing????
I'm wondering if the old YAHOO 101.5 group that Mike has going is going to pick-up-the-slack????
(I'll try to post a link or update the homepage later too????
Sorry-but I don't remember if Mike has a pword to answer THIS message-the "temporary" snow-storm password: snow,still works.

Plane -- talkonline, 08:06:52 03/03/03 Mon
Ok,so I have complained about the indignaties of being a US Citizen, and the "Checkpoint Charlie" mentality, as far as required photo-id, credit check ????.... on everyone.
But-last night, a plane looked like it was going to crash into my house. I am pretty familiar with the air-traffic patterns in my area, so I knew this was not a "regular" flight. I actually decided to go outside just in case,it was that close! Now this morning,I see the story of the plane that was "pulled over" and I think it was that plane, after they let it go????
Anyhow, just wondering if authorities are checking ALL flights, like charter/private etc. ?????( I hope so)
BRoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooce! -- talkonline, 16:56:52 03/02/03 Sun
OK-I admit it!-"I got the fever" ~(Greetings From Asbury Park),after checking out the special SPRINGSTEEN story in today's PRESS. AND-oooops!,I FORGOT to buy tickets!!!!!! What to do???,I'm trying to convince myself that I really don't want to go. (That's not working). I baked a quiche for my favorite HIGH ROLLER,so I may have to "cash in some chips"???? if possible. BUT-I heard that the casinos didn't get very many tickets??????
wow! guess where I was... -- talkonline, 15:16:53 03/01/03 Sat
ROSARIOS in the VENTNOR PLAZA shopping center-(near Pathmark)..........I recieved a phone call from RICH this morning about lunch at ROSARIOS. DEE-LISH!
First, let me tell you, the food was really good. I had a salad of roasted peppers,proschiuto (sp?-aged Italian ham),and mozzarella, oh yeah-it was done right! Although I did not have the soup-that looked really good,and so did the broccoli rabe, I'll have that when I go again.
OK,so did I mention that this lunch was held in VENTNOR?-Well, VENTNOR "rules" were in effect-(rule #1-Talk about anyone who is NOT there!)......I don't know if I am at liberty to name names, so I won't tell you who-all was there,but I must say that I have never lunched with a more interesting bunch!...a real who's who in LOCAL TALK RADIO
Thank-you for the invite RICH!
OK,I will tell you that CHAMP was there. I asked CHAMP about the SAND FLEA (at the SANDCASTLE), and he says that they will return at the end of March!
Oh yeah- I got a peak at some truly SCANDALOUS campaign material!!!!! That's all that I can say about THAT! for now, but when this candidate sees this flier, ...??????

NJ 101.5 -- talkonline, 08:13:26 03/01/03 Sat
The Garden State Radio Board,(link on homepage), has a message that the NJ 101.5 message board has closed. There is a guess that "troublemakers" (?) may have had something to do with it.
That's really too bad, I had some stalker-like attacks on that board and they were removed promptly. Also, some really mean things about people who work there (on-the-air), other than that,there was a small group of "normal" people who supported the board (and visitors).....sorry to hear about this one.

just heard this one on the news -- fellow non-traveler, 13:25:07 02/28/03 Fri
Transportation officials say a contractor will be picked soon to build the nationwide computer system, which will check such things as credit reports and bank account activity and compare passenger names with those on government watch lists.
Civil liberties groups and activists are objecting to the plan, seeing the potential for unconstitutional invasions of privacy and for database mix-ups that could lead to innocent people being branded security risks.
"This system threatens to create a permanent blacklisted underclass of Americans who cannot travel freely," said Katie Corrigan, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union.
A SAVAGE warning! -- talkonline, 19:42:08 02/27/03 Thu
SAVAGE!....WILD!....says that he will throw the book at (un-named) forces that are "conspiring" to deny him his right to free speech,right to make a livelyhood (sp?)...not to mention violation of RICO! laws, not to mention-(but he did)-recieving US government grant $$$$ and using it for such purposes and political purpose, and possible violation of the intended and stated request of such grant monies........SAVAGE tells them to STOP,by "MANNANA"! OR ELSE!!!!!!!
He is of course referring to organising efforts directed towards intimidating sponsors.
Program Change?? -- TC, 21:16:09 02/27/03 Thu
Did anybody hear about a programming change, in the afternoon, at WOND starting Monday? Thought I heard Barbara Altman talking about that today.
thought you might like to know! -- blue boy, 19:10:51 02/27/03 Thu
It might not be telemarketers. It could be Arbitron. Sources say that the radio ratings company is calling for people to participate in the next survey.
General Asembly -- talkonline, 17:53:48 02/27/03 Thu CLICK HERE for audio...........ok. here is the recording of today's tourisim & gaming meeting. Forward to about 49 minutes into the meeting for some interesting (off-topic) chat in regards to SLOT MACHINES AT RACE TRACKS. OTBS were approved two years ago, and money (15-20 million) was put in a fund to establish OTB betting parlors around the state. (something like)-"I can only hope that the footdragging (as far as why the OTBS have not been opened yet)....is not in some way directly tied to ......SLOT MACHINES AT RACE TRACKS!!!!!!!"....it goes further with some comments about how NEW JERSEY is being "surrounded" by states, and CANADA??? with SLOT MACHINES.....all of this is on the recording before McDeVITT even makes his sceduled appearance.
Anyone Catch the Kilmeade-Garofalo Match? -- rujane, 09:11:29 02/26/03 Wed
I heard about this on Sean Hannity's show, he said he was going to have Brian Kilmeade (of the Fox&Friends)morning show on; then Jeff Katz, on 1210 did a short interview with Kilmeade and then most of the segment was played on Hannity and Colmes. For those who missed it, Garolfalo was doing her 'celebrity/activist' number and I guess Kilmeade had just had it, and took her on. He pressured her into admitting she thought Fox was "right wing", getting talking points from the White House and then came back with, "Why is America making us number one in the ratings, then?" I mean, I have never seen a host go on the attack like this and expose one of these limo libs for what they are - ill-informed, posturing phonies.
I refrain to set down how Mancow (the Chicago radio host who does a short segment on Fox&Friends each morning) referred to Garofalo, but I tuned in at 7:45 just to hear his spin and I wasn't disappointed.
A RUSH LIMBAUGH transcript BLOG! -- talkonline, 20:30:59 02/26/03 Wed

(ok at least they admit that he didn't have viewers).......................TAKE BACK THE MEDIA is starting to get a desperate tone to it's SCUTTLEBUTT! (scuttlebutt-insider word for FRONT PORCH listeners).............remember TBM? They are the group who CLAIMS to have FORCED AMAZON and other advertisers to pull support from TALK RADIO-namely RUSH LIMBAUGH. AND several on-going campaigns to SILENCE TALKERS-(the conservative kind-as judged by them) by sponsor intimidation.
Hurley with Gorvernor McGreevey -- James, 12:51:19 02/26/03 Wed
The interview this morning with Harry Hurley and Governor James McGreevey was the most comprehensive and definitive interviews yet on the topic of proposed new gaming taxes and the viedo slot machine issue. It wasn't until today that McGreevey has answered these important questions directly. Hurley was the only media person in the State, who has the background and the access to conduct this interview. Very well done.

interview with sadamm -- talkonline, 09:06:07 02/26/03 Wed
If the USA had any balls-( intended), the "enemy" would have been interviewed by a WOMAN- oh-yeah-NOT a BURKA-wearing woman either. As far as I'm concerned, by propagating (pun?,again) an interview that is not conducted by a non-burka wearing woman, THE USA is SUPPORTING sad damm's stinkn' agenda.

Kushner withdraws -- talkonline, 19:12:51 02/26/03 Wed
I saw on NJN news that CHARLES KUSHNER has withdrawn from the NJ Port Authority appointment. KUSHNER really is a dynamo!- it probably would be beneficial for NEW JERSEY to have this guy serving the public sector, I can see why McGREEVY would choose someone with such obvious management acheivements and energy, but unfortunately,KUSHNER was quoted on NJN NEWS as saying something about "...partisian politics..."
Well, if KUSHNER is so repulsed by partisian politics,maybe he shouldn't have given so much cash-o-la to DEMOCRATS! (like Hillary Clinton!)....
And really,anyone interested in serving or representing the state of New Jersey,should be willing to deal with a little bit of scrutiny if that is what's required. Did this guy expect the rules to be different for him just because he donated so much $$$ to McGreevy's campaign??
(Too bad KUSHNER is a DEMOCRAT- he would make a great REPUBLICAN!)
Co-incidence -- talkonline, 13:08:19 02/26/03 Wed
Ever since Jonathon Jones (sp?) was (bodily) removed from his position as some kind of data-administrator from the Atlantic City BOE, the Atlantic City BOE website DOES NOT FUNCTION. Specificlly, an actual USEFUL feature,that being the Board of Ed. AGENDA which, up untill the departure of JONES, was updated regularly...............(JONES was removed due to ??? regarding the millions of dollars (e-rate) which have not been answered satisfactorily.)
What other portions of the ACBOE data system have been affected??? It looks like some of what was online is gone,but really the entire site was a big mish-mash incomplete mess anyhow,although, some features were useful and well maintained.
